It will be in contempt of Congress,” Paul told reporters after the hearing, which featured Fauci refusing to answer one question from lawmakers. None of the Republicans are the Squishes, so, Paul can probably get the panel vote to hold Fauci in contempt, possibly with John Fetterman voting in favor. Thom Tillis, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski will surely vote against it, just because they are Squishes. Other lawmakers on the committee also pointed out that Fauci, whom former President Joe Biden pardoned, had nothing to hide. “I think Anthony Fauci has had contempt for Congress and contempt for the American people for decades,” he said.
